Los Angeles: Global hit franchise 'Baywatch' will be available in Canada, India, and Europe, among other territories, following a new multi-territory deal between international distributor Fremantle and Prime Video, reported Variety.
The deal also includes the original series' complete back catalogue, including the spin-off 'Baywatch Hawaii'.
Following the expansion, viewers in Italy, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Benelux, Switzerland, Austria, Turkey, Canada, Latin America and India will be able to access the new 12-episode season of the drama in 2027 along with the past seasons.
Produced by Fremantle and Fox Entertainment, the show is set to debut in the US in January 2027. In the UK, it will air on Sky after the Comcast-owned broadcaster acquired the rights to the show.
'Baywatch' will follow a new cast of lifeguards in the iconic red swimsuits as they patrol the world's most famous stretch of sand, navigating ocean dramas and personal challenges. Stephen Amell leads the series alongside Jessica Belkin as Charlie Vale and Shay Mitchell as Trina, according to Variety.
Joining them are Thaddeus LaGrone as Brad, Noah Beck as Luke, Brooks Nader as Selene, David Chokachi as Cody Madison, and Livvy Dunne as Grace. Original cast members Erika Eleniak, Michael Bergin and Kelly Packard will appear as guest stars.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with Prime Video to bring the new 'Baywatch' to audiences across multiple territories, while also giving fans the opportunity to revisit the original series they know and love. Few shows have made as big a splash or had such lasting cultural impact as 'Baywatch,' and this landmark deal marks a significant moment for one of the industry's most eagerly anticipated launches. The excitement surrounding the show has been incredible, and we can't wait for audiences to see what's in store. This is just the beginning of what we believe will be an exciting new chapter for 'Baywatch,'" said Michela Di Mondo, Fremantle's EVP for international distribution, as quoted by Variety.
